Jenny glanced at the gift box, then said, "I'm getting old, Cole. I want a family and my own kids."
"I'm just like you, Jenny. I want a family of my own, too. We could try dating each other, and if everything goes well, we could get married and have kids," Cole said as he stared at Jenny with eager eyes.
Jenny lowered her gaze and said, "My father has one request. If we get married, our first child, no matter boy or girl, has to take the Gibson last name."
Cole's face instantly changed.
"If you're not willing, then there's no point in continuing with dinner," Jenny said as she picked up her bag. She looked like she was about to leave.
Cole instantly grabbed her arm and said, "I'm okay with that, Jenny. The child would be mine no matter whose last name they take. It's just... I think my parents might not be happy about it. How about we have two kids. The first one will take your last name, and the second one will take mine."
Jenny felt relieved after hearing Cole's words.
"Would your parents agree to that?"
"I'll change their minds. Listen to me, Jenny. After getting to know you the past few days, I've found myself completely infatuated with you. You're elegant
and generous. You're also dignified and calm. You're nothing at all like those young girls in their twenties. You've captivated me!"
Jenny blushed from the praise.
She accepted Cole's gift.
"I've got this woman in the bag," Cole thought.
Once he married into the Gibson family, his place in high society would be secure.
He picked up his glass of wine and took a sip.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed the silhouette of a child.
It was the little girl who had mistaken him for her father yesterday!
Cole had never expected to see her again!
The little girl was holding hands with a boy who was slightly taller than her, and they were headed for the washroom.
"Excuse me, Jenny. I'm going to the washroom," Cole said with a soft smile. He then got up and strode toward the little girl.
He caught up to her very quickly.
When Hayden heard the approaching of swift feet, he cautiously glanced behind him.
